Overview
With Excel Viewer, you can open, view, and print Excel workbooks, even if you don't have Excel installed. You can also copy data from Excel Viewer to another program. However, you cannot edit data, save a workbook, or create a new workbook. This download is a replacement for Excel Viewer 97 and all previous Excel Viewer versions.

Great work guys but would be interested to know exactly who reported which items. Id be interested to know from what location and equipment used to log such stations, for example Ive done a lot of Navtex over the past few weeks and looking at the Excel Sheet under combined HF there's one or two stations logged that I have not managed to hear yet and it and it would be interesting to know their whereabouts, equipment used etc.. Now if the chap who logged these was from a different country or much further North than me I could put it down to that but as it is I'm just left wondering so is there a chance of at least listing contributors initials and have a directory of contributors location/equipment

I seem to remember that in Shortwave Magazine when they printed loggings, the loggers were assigned numbers which appeared at the end of the row of each entry (sperated by commas if whatever was on that frequency was logged by more than one person) and the numbers and names were matched up at the bottom of the page.

Yeh that's the kinda idea, initials or number at end of logging and a list of contributors with location and equipment used to cross check whose reported what. If this is possible guys but don't want to add to much work for you guys.

For example, someone may want to get the English language broadcasts only. Others may want beacons in the Caribbean etc etc. If these things are entered, it is easy to filter the list to display what we want.

I put audio samples in, as that would be very cool :-)

For things like Station, what would be great is with enough entries for one station, we would be able to build up a good picture of when to listen, expected quality for whatever equipment at whatever location etc etc. So we could actually build station / transmitter profiles over time. If this had a web based front end, and was a relational database, the possibilities are fantastic IMHO.

You can PM me anytime if you have any questions about my logs on the monthly thread,i would only be to pleased to share the information i have on these stations or what equimpent i use.

Or even better you could catch me on MSN and do some live IDing on a few stations some night, i also could do with some help as these DIGI logs Hanglands and Crusty post fly straight over my head as im a old fashion AM man,although i must admit to doing some research on their very interesting logs.

About the username / location change for next month - if you had just the username, then you could have a separate sheet or just post on here and users could give the details of their locations and rigs etc, ad that can be looked up if needed. Would be more efficient and less repetitive, no?
